No way…

Via Washington Examiner:

An expert who served on a panel overseeing State Department recommendations in the aftermath of the 2012 terrorist attacks in Benghazi, Libya, told a congressional committee Wednesday the department has failed to follow through on key proposals for improving diplomatic security.

“Clear the smoke. Remove the mirrors. Now is the time for the Department of State to finally institutionalize some real, meaningful and progressive change,” said Todd Keil, one of three witnesses interviewed by a new special House panel tasked with investigating the Benghazi attacks.

“Words and cursory actions by the Department of State ring hollow absent transparency and verifiable and sustainable actions to fully put into practice the letter and the intent of our recommendations.”

The special House committee held its first hearing Wednesday, spending almost three hours looking into the implementation of security recommendations made by the State Department’s Accountability Review Board, established to investigate the surroundings that led to the attacks.
